this was reporting information that could impact the national security of the united states and the safety of u.s. installations in other countries. we have just learned, for instance, that the benghazi mission was operating under a security waiver at the time of the attack. that means that typical security standards did not apply, mainly because the compound was temporary in nature. we don't yet know who made that decision or who was in on it but we do think that people need to know where the process broke down, if it broke down. we think you need to know what happened to u.s. personnel in benghazi. we've got a lot to talk about tonight with former homeland security advisor fran townsend. as we often mention, fran's a member of the external advisory committee, and recently visited libya with her employer. also joining us, former cia officer bob baer. i don't want to get into the journalistic details with you, but there's no doubt, what do you make of the fact that this consulate in benghazi three days after the attack apparently wasn't being guarded and journalists are wandering all over
